Title: Improvements in or relating to the Application of Mechanical Piano Players to Pianos.
Inventor: HOWARD SAMUEL
Filed: 1909-12-01
Granted: 1910-12-01
Abstract: 28,001. Howard, S. Dec. 1. Player-pianos; blowing and exhausting air; treadle devices; winding-mechanism.-Relates to a mechanical player for attachment to a vertical or grand pianoforte without altering the casing. The tracker-bar a is let into the lock-rail or an attachment to it, and bearings c<1>, c<2> for the spindle d of the " take-up " roll e are attached to the underside of the lock-rail. The spindle d carries arms e<3>, e<4>, which are connected by a rod f, and between which the music-roll g is mounted. The shaft j is driven through a chain n and sprocket-wheel l by the motor, and, during the playing movement, it drives the take-up roll e through spur-gearing. To rewind the tune-sheet, the shaft is shifted longitudinally by a lever m to disengage the spur-wheels, and the spindle p is pushed in against the action of the spring p<3> so that the music-roll g can be rotated by hand through the spur-wheels p<1>, o. The lever m carries a brake spring, which is applied to a spur-wheel on the take-up roll spindle during rewinding. When it is desired to play the instrument manually, the frame carrying the music-roll is either detached or swung round to a position below the key-bed, as shown in Fig. 6, where it is held by the friction of its pivots or suitable retaining- devices. The bellows are arranged either between the bracings at the rear of the piano or in a casing attached to the back of the piano. Alternatively, they may be placed behind the bottom door of the instrument. The treadles fold into an aperture in the piano casing, which may be closed by a door.

Granted: 1910-09-22
Abstract: 1146. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Jan. 15. Electro-magnetic switches.-Relays with lifting and holding coils for use in a motor control system of the type described in Specification 7113/09, are constructed as follows. The series holding-coil P<1> and the lifting-coil Q<1> are mounted in a frame 15, Fig. 3, attached by bolts 17, 18 to a support 16, a brass cylinder 25 receiving the core 20. A piston 28 on the core slides in the cylinder, which may be closed at the top by the usual valve 30 when it is desired to introduce a time-constant into the operation of the relay. The inner magnetic shell of the relay consists of a fixed sleeve 31 and a movable sleeve 32 adjustable towards the sleeve 31 by screw engagement with the frame 15. The upper end of the core being tapered, the combined effect of the magnetic parts is to produce a constant pull on the core for any given strength of current in the coil P<1> after the coil Q<1> has performed its lifting-action. Excessive current in the series coils P' raises the core, the relay thus serving as an overload device.

Granted: 1910-12-22
Abstract: 8455. Wittig, K., and Wittig, E. April 7. Fixed-abutment type; packing drums; balancing moving parts.-The outwardly-sliding vanes bear against, and rotate with, rings inserted in grooves in the cylinder and balanced by fluid pressure; one end wall of the cylinder is automatically displaced axially when the friction between it and the pistondrum exceeds a fixed limit; and, when used as a pump, means are provided for establishing communication between diametrically opposite working-compartments near the inlet and outlet ports. The centrifugal force of the vanes 3 is taken up by rings 4 of the same internal diameter as the cylinder. These rings rotate in deep grooves 5, which they divide into a number of chambers by partitions 6 loosely inserted in grooves in the rings. Channels 7, which may be radial or inclined in either direction, conduct fluid from the compartments between the vanes to the chambers between the partitions 6 on the other side of the ring 4 which is thereby counterbalanced. The channels 7 may be formed in the casing, adjustment of the counterbalancing pressure being obtained by cutting off the communication of particular chambers with the interior. Alternatively, the chambers may be filled with oil and closed at the points where a radial thrust is set up. The vanes 3 may be formed with projections engaging with dove-tailed grooves in the rings 4, Fig. 6. Conduits 13, fitted with cocks i, Fig. 3, may be provided to establish communication between compartments which have just passed the delivery port and those which have just completed suction. A weight 11 tends to rotate the end-wall 9 of the cylinder and, by reason of its screw-threaded boss 8, to thrust it against the piston-drum 1. When the friction between the drum and the end-wall 9 exceeds a certain limit the two will commence to rotate together and the end wall will be axially displaced away from the drum. The weight 11 may be replaced by a spring or by fluid-pressure in the space 20, and cam and link devices may be substituted for the screw-threaded boss.
